UFOs: Investigating the Unknown

First season and some part of the second season was great. They had militar staff, Navy people and pilots talking about possible UFOs, everyone was very credible and the stuff they talked about was super interesting making the audience curious about all the cases.

But during the 2md season, they start showing random people that say they had encounters with aliens and we all know they are lying, these are crazy people lacking attention. No one wants to waste time listening to these people. If they keep making episodes like this it's better to cancel the show.

The show was very serious in the first season but in the 2nd season becomes a circus show.

I'm a skeptic, I'll admit. I have always believed in the possibilities of there being "alien" life, but that this extraterrestrial life would be human, and not "little green men" or anything contrived from the last century of mankind's wild imagination.

I'm familiar with a lot of conspiracy theories about "UFOs" and "aliens," and have given the topic some thought. I've always come to the conclusion that there's always been some kind of logical, or scientific explanation. My being a Christian has nothing to do with this, I do not believe mankind has a right to limit the creative ability and supremacy that God, or our Heavenly Father, has. If He wants to introduce beings from other worlds to our own, He has every right to do so. But I sincerely doubted that He would bother to do such a thing.

But then I got to thinking. Well what about dinosaurs? They obviously existed, we cannot deny it or rule out their existence. So who's to say that we can't rule out the possibility of visitors from other universes?

So I opened up to the idea that maybe, just MAYBE we HAVE had interactions and visitations from other worlders, and that they MIGHT HAVE been documented by those who pilot our airspace. Because after all, if Bigfoot exists, why is the ONLY documentation of him a super blurry image, that could be anything? There are literally thousands of videos and photos of UFOs, no doubt most of them are either falsified, or explainable through science of which us Earthlings are already familiar. And a lot of it is told through respectable people, not just people who a lot of society would call "crazies."

This kind of thinking really helped me think about the maybes and possibilities, especially when my own boss at work is so dedicated to this conspiracy, was so adamant about the possible truth.

I wouldn't say I'm at the point of creating a mashed potatoes sculpture of the Devil's Tower, but this show, along with outside sources, have helped me AT LEAST consider the POSSIBILITY that this stuff may be true.

A lot of documentaries, and "actors" in such documentaries, are hand-picked to drive the producers' agenda, and therefore aren't trusted. And you'd think, if this stuff was all true, why would the government even be willing to allow it to be aired? There are still things to consider, there is no blatant "fact" or "fiction" here. But as a religious fellow, I understand what it's like being doubted even though the experiences you've been through are at the very least solid proof of your beliefs. These people seem very sure of themselves in their testimonies, so there's a reason there to at least give them some air time, because who knows, maybe they're all right, and something BIG is in the works.

A well done documentary, lots of questions, but it's pretty convincing.

I have been open to various rabbit holes. For instance, I think that Vietnam was a pretty bad idea, despite that "we" had been "attacked" in the Gulf of Ton-kin. I was skeptical that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, and it turns out they didn't.

I was a little bit worried that the caves beneath Tora Bora were a massive Bin-Laden-engineered super-complex of jet aircraft controlling, tower-dropping, WMD slinging, freedom-crushing, civilian-killing death aimed at all us all us good freedum loving folks in Amurka...

But I was a little let down when that turned out to be false.

The thing I always told myself was that, having waded through all that M5M crap about Iraq having WMD's, etc., at least I never fell for the gummint UFO psy-op.

Well, I think this show is a very understated, non-alien-ascribing, fact-based, take on the issue of unidentified things that fly around in sky. I have no horse in this race, because I've been bust getting used to all the other crap in the M5M narrative that turns out to be totally false,. This show is actually very impartial and neutral and interesting. There are no quacks in it. Nobody whatsoever is arguing that these phenomena are aliens or anything like that.

It's just tight, minimalist reporting and is pointing out things that are obvious and non-controversial. You will not hear any "Greys sodomized me" or any other deranged BS in this program. It's a clean, impartial, scientific, journalistic look at UFOs / UAPs or whatever.

Having said all that, I don't think they are aliens. Not for a minute! But neither does anyone in this program. All they are saying, is that stuff i going on in the sky that is difficult to explain.

Check it out. It's very acceptable, fact-based journalism. It's not WOO at all,

This is more of a historical look at UFOs. If you are remotely educated on the subject, this will highly disappoint you. It's basically a rehashing of the major instances that the government and UFO organizations looked at. A whole episode on the glorification of J Allen Hyneck made me write this review. I am so disappointed they decided to barely touch on major UFO sightings and instead decided to focus on the investigators in a historical context. The show comes off as self serving and dull. I commend all these investigators for all they have done to advance research into this subject but I don't need to be force fed it.

A lot of what is being presented in this series I had no idea was going on. I was in junior high in the 60's. A lot of information that was new to me right up to the end. I watched at least two if not three parts at a time. Giving me time to think about what I had heard and processing the information. It has a lot of older interviews which I actually enjoyed. It has me thinking about other things in our world and in our lives that can't be explained. I am so glad I watched this because, even being older film viewed in it, it still had a lot to tell that does not change over time. Give it a try and see if it is worth the time for you to view. So glad I did!
